| Description |
Color scanned image of an Aztec Sun Stone astronomical time teller (not a calendar). Unlike a Gregorian calendar, the Sun Stone consists of a 260-day cycle of 13 months of 20 days each. The Sun Stone originally came from the Mayans as a way to tell the story of the five suns. Donor obtained this piece because it helped her study and understand her identity. The piece represents the four guardians: North, South, East, West. Everything rotates around the 5th sun. Belief in duality. |
